Florida Police Crack Down Hard On Drifting Sideshow Participants | Carscoops carscoops
in Florida have a unique way of dealing with sideshows and street takeovers. After busting three drivers and finding firearms along the way, one county sheriff laid down a clear line: follow the law or risk losing your car. The hard-hitting message comes not long after Florida passed a law with the specific intention of reducing such behavior behind the wheel.
On March 3rd, the Broward County Sheriff’s Office followed a group participating in burnouts, drifting, and donuts in public spaces. Among the group, police arrested three drivers, seized cars, found firearms, and cited a number of spectators too. “We start seeing that this thing was most certainly nothing that was a sport or fun,” Broward Sheriff Gregory Tony said at a news conference Thursday.
“Throughout these individuals’ activities, drag racing on public streets, they expose children parents, and other vehicles and pedestrians to pretty much potentially losing their life. These cars are driving in excess of 100+ mph, they’re doing , all types of different tactics and wheelies out there if they’re motorcycle vehicles, and we will not tolerate it,” he continued.The tough talk didn’t stop there. With concern over the potential danger to bystanders and other innocent parties, Tony said: “There will be no ticket citations where you’re walking away. We’re going to put you in handcuffs and we’re going to put you in jail.
“We’re going to continue to be aggressive. We’re going to continue to go after these individuals. Expect us to take your car and take you to jail. This is your official warning. Stop the nonsense on our streets before you kill somebody.”
